• Alpha's Pet   Chapter Twenty: Self Confession

  Alice had thought Justa was angry before. No, this was nothing compared to his reaction to this news."Mark, you're going to have to explain it a lot more than that, and Alice, stay right where you are," he snapped.Alice glanced back down the way she'd come. She didn't hear any of the other wolves coming it should be safe for a few moments. And for once she was okay with Mark spilling the information."You know wolves have mates, right?"Justa nodded."The mate bond is a special gift from the Goddess. If the wolves shun it they suffer pain and injury. The more grievous the shun, the more it hurts.""It's odd you say shun. What would happen if she rejected them completely?" Justa demanded. His arms were crossed over his chest as he watched. His face a mask of deadly seriousness."The wolf part of her would reject her. She'd never be able to shift again or have the powers that a wolf gives her. She could have a slight conne

• Alpha's Pet   Chapter Nineteen: Mating Laws

  What annoyed Alice the most about the whole announcement ordeal was far more wolves obeyed him instantly than she'd ever manage. Why had the Goddess given her such a strange mate?"I don't think they'll give you any more issues," Harris pointed out with a grin."I can handle my pack on my own, I don't need you stepping in. I'm an Alpha.""Oh," Harris winced. "I guess that does look like I was trying to take over, huh? I'm sorry. That was not my intention. I just never want anyone to ever insult you again in your life. You're too precious to me."Alice looked away. The moon was close to dipping below the horizon and the sun would greet them soon. "Just stay out of my affairs. I can handle this.""I have every faith," he answered as he licked her ear.Alice resisted the urge to bite him. She didn't need her wolf making her suffer over something like this. And so she let herself be licked. "I want you and your wolves out of my territory, right

  Alice's house was spotless. She hadn't even been gone that long and yet once again Justa had gone out of his way to make her home more comfortable. He must have been cooking for a while because her counter was crowded with various rich-smelling dishes."I wasn't expecting you to bring company," Justa noted as he studied Mark. "Is everything okay?""Fine," she snapped back before instantly hating herself. It wasn't Justa's fault that she'd found her mate.He raised a brow as he studied her before shaking his head with a sigh and returning to his cooking.She'd almost let it slip. She needed to be careful. No, she needed to be responsible. Why should she continue to string him on now that she knew the truth? "Justa.""What?" he answered back as he continued to expand the area of food beside him."When the moon dips completely I'll take you back to your human settlement. Any one you want to go to, the distance doesn't matter.""You

  "Why are you so close to my pack?" Alice demanded once she could retain control of her voice again.The wolf in front of her wagged his tail slow as he continued to grin. "I never thought I would meet you in a place like this. We're in the middle of nowhere.""Answer me," Alice growled. Her wolf whined at her as the beast struggled to take full control. Her wolf had already forgotten about Justa, all it wanted to do was be with its mate now.Alice wasn't ready to make that distinction yet."Why are you being so hostile?" the other tilted his head. "You're my mate. We're one now. I couldn't tell you why I'm here. I felt drawn to this lake and when I was staring into it I heard the most beautiful sorrowful voice. I heard you.""I wasn't looking for you," Alice spat out. "I needed to be alone."He frowned and his tail stopped wagging. "But, but we found each other. We're mates. You know what that means."It would have meant somethi

  Alice didn't let go of Justa even when they got back into her house. She guided him toward the bed, but Justa tensed and she couldn't move him."To the bed," she growled as she tightened her hold."No."His reply was cold, stand-offish and his eyes were like ice."Justa?" Alice let go and stepped away. What had she done?"You didn't have to attack that other wolf. What you did could have killed her. Are you really so okay with another's blood dripping from your hands?"Alice glanced at the subject in question. The blood of her challenger still stained her hands. "It wasn't as if I attacked first. If she'd left me alone I would not have had to hurt her. And I did deliberately not kill her."Alice cocked her head to the side. "For being such a pacifist, you don't fuck like one.""You're stronger than them, you have the responsibility to take care of them. You could have handled it with your words instead of making her

• Alpha's Pet   Chapter Fifteen: On Guard

  "Shouldn't we eat breakfast before we do this?" Justa demanded with a scowl on his lips, his bruised lips.Alice hid her smile. Every mark she left on him made her proud. She didn't need a mate, at this point, she didn't care if one showed up.All she needed, no, all she wanted was Justa. "We'll eat when we're done."They hadn't run into anyone else yet, but it was only a matter of time. Alice had made the patrol as early as possible and even delayed her breakfast, but she had no doubts.As if in answer to her thoughts a branch snapped up ahead and the dark wolf stalked toward them. He bowed his head upon seeing her but his lips lifted Justa's way."Mark," Alice warned putting a growl to her voice.The wolf dipped his head again. "Sorry." He sniffed the air and shook his head hard. "Are you sure it's wise? Parts of the pack won't accept this."Alice waved the matter away. "I'm not afraid to show them whose pack this is. I
